I’m going to write something, an awareness about abuse in leadership, and in communities.
But I am aware, these certain people can carry things, yet they never unlearn from it.
But when they continue it, and that is saddening itself,
They use their resources, on selfish positions, selfish opportunities, on selfish things promoting one self, getting things that are not needed, such as using it on alcohol, drugs, lavishing. and not meeting needs in communities.
When they choose a position, for an image, when that position is meant to serve communities.
They don’t steward that money to the community.
They also never unlearn violence.
And some of these people, will be your family members,
leaders, be your chiefs, or spiritual leaders
being sexual or physical abusers, the thing is nobody brings it up, the behaviour is just never brought up, and those abusers stay in their positions while the victim deals with the trauma, the isolation, of not being heard
That should not be happening.
and they get covered by other people just because they’re respected, or “known”. Or even “family.”
These people can be your own family members too.
They get too comfortable with them, and they compromise with abusers.
That they don’t believe the victim.
They bystand, and watch, and don’t do anything to address these harmful behaviours.
Violence is too normalized in communities, and within indigenous people.
I had witnessed too many.
